As for the parts/ kit. The instructions were EXCELLENT, and the quality of parts were great.
My first real DIY on a car, didnt really have much trouble.
So how did you get it off wth the intake book still on? Did you just keep prying it out until it slipped out between the boot and hole? I want to pull mine out to check on the DISA, but it sounds like a bear. I am wondering if I should just order the DISA upgrade and do it all at once just so I don't have to do it twice....
